(Electromagnetic
Compatibility)
When powered up, all electrical equipment produces electromagnetic
fields. These can cause adjacent pieces of electrical equipment to interact

the EMC guidelines in this handbook, you can minimize these effects by
ensuring optimum Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) between equip-
ment.
